I'm getting more curious about the contents of somewhat generic Lacanian political position (been reading Zizek). So a book with a title like The Lacanian Left sounds very suitable for my needs. However I've read Zizek's In Defense of Lost Causes, and his attitude towards Stavrakakis is that he's not just wrong, but that he almost scandalously misinterprets Zizek, Lacan, and others. I'm not eager to read something that is badly mischaracterizing its target, so that has to leave me thinking about how fair Zizek's characterization of Stavrakakis is. If it is that bad, then I wouldn't bother with it, whereas if this is just some kind of academic feud and Zizek is being unfair then perhaps I could still pick up Stavrakakis.
I realize this is somewhat an opinion question, although I think how stark Zizek's claim is makes it less ambiguous. Either someone is scandalously wrong or they aren't!
